Need help to choose: Sony NW-A36 VS NW-A45
Promo for NW-A36, 32gb, Headphone, rm699
A45 retail rm899, 16gb, no headphones.

A45 advantage:
Can use as usb dac.
Better bluetooth support, aptx (HD with firmware update)
Not sure about SQ, i tested at shop it does sound better to me vs A36, not very big difference though.
MQA support.

A36 advantage:
Price.. 200 cheaper get 32gb+Headphone set, better value.

A36 disadvantage:
Supposedly slower interface/boot. (Latest firmware 1.20 said to improve this, but i cant find reviews)

A45 disadvantage:
No reviews.

Which should i go for ?

I'm personally not recommend to get the older generation NW-A36. Actually NW-A36 is same with NW-A35. It's just about NW-35 without earphones and NW-A36 with earphones.
NW-A45 only has 16GB but you can further add up a microSD card to extend your player storage. NW-A45 has slightly better in sound quality, you can always refers to Sony Official Website.

NW-A45 is replaced to a lead-free solder to maximize it's clarity. New circuit board has improved in clearer sound and pure, solid bass. This was mentioned in Sony official website.

Just go get a better earphones/headphones.

Does anyone did burn-in their portable player before? Let's say you have an old portable player which has bought at 1 year ago with more than 3000 hours usage (including burn-in). Then compare yours to a new same model portable player again, does anyone here did that before? Is there any different in sound quality improvement?
